Internet banking orders need to be in by midnight Monday 4 October for pick up from your chosen location Thursday 7 October. Remember to bring a couple of bags.
Instructions on how to order can be found in the document attached. Your Internet Banking payment you make also serves as our ordering system.
We are so excited to welcome a new pickup-partnership! We welcome Sammy Norton CEO of the Industry Training Solutions (ITS) Allsorts Centre and her team. What an amazing organization this is. Allsorts is a cafe, a safe and inclusive space for community gatherings. They also work with ITS providing classes. Details about the Allsorts pick up point can be found in the Instructions; however, even if you do not live centre-city I recommend visiting Allsorts anyway and staying for a cuppa.
Have a lovely weekend everyone and please stay safe and well.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
